Nelson is a handsome, sensitive lap cat who loves to "chatter" and offer dainty "eeoooww" greetings. Having overcome a difficult past, he thrives on routine and quiet, preferring a calm environment where he can safely observe birds from a high perch and play with crinkle toys. He adores lap time for pets but prefers to keep his paws on the ground. Nelson seeks a patient home that understands his need for stability and gentle reassurance.
